Testimonials for Dickson Home Inspection

“John did such a thorough job on the house we’re selling that we thought it would be great to use him on the one we’re buying. We called him and he was out the same week. He was very thorough. We expressed our concerns on the areas we thought we really wanted him to check such as the roof and of course he paid a lot more attention to those areas. It turned out to be a good inspection. We thought it was definitely worth the money that we paid. It was a reasonable amount, too. He’s not overcharging. So we were quite happy with him.”
Heidi Parmer, Homeowner
“We chose to have the home that we are building inspected at the “pre-drywall stage” for several reasons. First, the home building process has become very technical and specialized. Without the proper knowledge, even obvious problems sometimes are not evident to the average person. It takes advanced training and experience to spot potential problems. Second, although we trust our builder, we know from past experience that things sometimes get overlooked and never get fixed properly. After the sheetrock is installed, some problems are hidden and don’t get discovered for years. Finally, we wanted someone looking out for our interest. The building foreman is working for the building company and the county inspector’s are sometimes too busy to take the time to check every detail. Our inspector, John Dickson, spent several hours at our house, during the pre-drywall inspection, checking every detail. John found several items that had been missed by the building foreman and the county inspector. Although our foreman was initially skeptical of the inspection process, he later agreed that all of the items that John discovered we reasonable and justifiable. We feel that the money spent on the inspection was well worth it and we would certainly do it again. John gave us both an education about our home’s construction as well as a report of items that needed to be fixed.”

“He’s fantastic to work with. He’s very professional and business-like. He’s very thorough. He completely goes from top to bottom of the house and points out things that are cosmetic. He then points out other things to be concerned with in the future and then those things that need immediate attention. He’s totally professional about his work and I would certainly recommend him.”

“I would certainly recommend Dickson Home to someone who needed an inspection. John has a lot of experience. We weren’t sure we were going to have a home inspection because the home we were buying had just been inspected a year and a half ago. But we decided it was probably in our best interest to spend the money. We’re glad we made the decision to have the house inspected.”

“First off, I was very impressed with his credentials. When he came in to speak to our office and gave a presentation, he was very thorough and explained how he inspects houses and the equipment he has to inspect with. I thought the equipment was a little more sophisticated than what I’ve seen other inspectors use over the years. He did do an inspection for one of my customers. He did a thorough precise job. He didn’t rush through it. He did a great job. He also followed up in writing and with a phone call after the inspection, which impressed me.”
